[[Rules and such]]

The slimer was enamored by the War Clan’s non-combatant members, more so with their very skilled artisans. He watched them from a distance as they cleaned hides, made threads, and various other objects from nature itself. He noted on how well they made their goods, and thought that they probably did live on their islands for very long to develop unique methods to create complex works of art.

But he found, to no surprise, that their greatest pieces were found in their armory and strewn into the homes of the clan’s fiercest warriors. Each weapon was truly unique, and was treated as such. Again, it wouldn’t be surprising if the ghost found that every member of the clan knew how to make weapons before they learned how to fly.

El Greco took pride of his artistic ability, and as an ambassador of his school, he was going to try to impress the intimidating horsewoman who was watching him and the rest inside the Crafter’s Den.

The ghost had found a place somewhere along the back of the room, farthest away from the prying eyes of the teacher. He preferred being left alone to his thoughts while he concentrated, but he had no problems with focusing. When dealing with art of any sort, this ghost was excellent at being fixated to such matters.

Unfortunately, at the back of the room, all the materials he could find were wood. But it mattered little to the slimer since he was familiar with the material and knew that it was easier to shape compared to stone or bone. The wood was warped by the slimer’s will.

Made from the same sturdy tree that have made most of the clan’s homes, the slimer delicately carved it into a wonderful edge weapon. It was curved to give it an extra push when slashing, its end sharp enough for stabbing, and he even added a little serration for cutting just in case it was to get caught. The ghost even etched his initials in it, and finally bound it with leather and feather.

It was a shiny awesome wooden knife, and it did impress the horsewoman.

The leathery mannequin was about to meet its doom at the hands of El Greco.

Unfortunately, the ghost really had no knife skills of any sort. But it wasn’t a deterrent. El Greco made the knife, and anything he made was an extension of his own body. The knife was just a natural part of him, just an extra, yet deadly, protrusion from his arm.

The ghost approached the target tummy, slashing at it a few times. He made a couple of deep cuts through its hide. His approach and attack wasn’t very pretty. A little awkward to the trained eye, and the others would definitely see it, but yet it was impressive. It was enough to deal decent damage to mannequin and perhaps enough to hurt a person.

His unskilled attacks though did loosen the leather grip on the knife, all the unnecessary twists and turns weren’t good for the weapon.

The ghost felt more eyes on him now, from other students, Clansmen, and definitely glances from the head Crafts horsewoman. He knew he had to impress them even further with another show of his knife skills.

There were eyes, but not on the ghost but on the weapon he had made. It was a fully functional wooden weapon, and with wood abundant in their island, and with his skills, he would be able to make a good amount of quality weapons.

It wasn’t the prettiest, but it really was lethal as the ghost buried the knife a couple inches deep into the mannequin with little damage to the knife.

The ghost was even impressed with his own skill with the knife and its sturdiness. He thought to himself that maybe he should make more weapons in the future, and apply his skills in arts and crafts for combat applications. He grinned a little with excitement at the thoughts of things he could create.

And as soon as he snapped out of his daydreaming, the ghost again played around with the knife slashing wildly, and shanking the mannequin a few more times. The playfulness of it all did cost him and his knife as the leather began to unwind from the stabbing and more unnecessary movements.

The slimer was a good knife crafter, but he was still amateur at best. He still is a student after all.

The knife dealt a great deal of damage to the mannequin before the weapon was rendered useless. Its edge was still sharp but being made of wood, gave the weapon a certain lifespan on how many times it could be used. It proved itself lethal, but if it wasn’t destroyed in battle, it would have rotted while it hung on someone’s wall.

The ghost still held a smile on his face even though his weapon was broken. The weapon wasn’t a loss to him. It was the experience of making fun was the more valuable part of this session.
